Apple has posted on its web site the celebration of Steve Jobs' life that it held last Wednesday. And, at least for me, one of the more poignant moments comes when Norah Jones takes the stage (around the 23 minute mark) and sings a moving version of Bob Dylan's Forever Young (29 minute mark).

Jobs always had a special affection for Dylan's songwriting. According to Walter Isaacson's new biography, Jobs and Steve Wozniak bonded over Dylan's music as young men. “The two of us would go tramping through San Jose and Berkeley and ask about Dylan bootlegs and collect them," Wozniak recalled. "We'd buy brochures of Dylan lyrics and stay up late interpreting them. Dylan's words struck chords of creative thinking."

To: Steve, you will always stay “forever young” God be with you, now & always. All the belief you had for so many is now, yours…forever. Your spirit shall be shared and live on to be remembered. So Sincere, Leza Seagraves
